We met up with some friends for dinner at Crogan's Montclair. It's a corner restaurant with street parking only. Ambience: spacious, table and booth seating. It can hold a few large groups of people. They do have a full bar. Two separate multi-user restrooms for men & women. Food: *French Onion Gratinee: topped with melted swiss and a touch of parmesan (4/5). This was very good! It was flavorful, rich, and not salty at all! The melted swiss was gooey and savory. *Prime Rib (Served on Fri, Sat, & Sun): 12 oz prime rib served with baked potato and sautéed green beans (4/5). Luckily, they still had a medium rare piece left. Tender, flavorful and came with au jus, straight horseradish. The green beans were delicious also. *Beet Salad: red beets, green beets, roma tomatoes, feta cheese, and mixed greens tossed with a herb vinaigrette (4/5). My wife liked her salad. I thought it was pretty good. Our friends ordered their favorites of the...they looked delicious. *Baby Back Ribs: succulent pork ribs slow-cooked and smothered in their house BBQ sauce served with French fries and coleslaw. *Chicken Cobb: Roasted chicken breast, bacon bits, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, crumbled Bleu cheese, & Bleu cheese dressing. Service: The waitress was very patient, helpful, and attentive. The busboy was helpful in clearing the dishes, refilling water, and drinks. Support your local business.

Crogan's is one of my favorite places to eat in Montclair Village. It has friendly service, a great menu, and delicious drinks!

Crogan's Philly Cheese Steak
haobin g.

The Philly steak loaded with melted cheese and jalapeños is good. I think it needs more flavors. I only taste the cheese most of the time. I would like it more if it has more sauce on it. The sweet potato fries is good. I like it better than the regular French fries. Staffs are nice and serve your food in order. Many parkings available on the street.

Chicken linguine

I Like coming here. I had a Long Island ice tea requesting they use top shelf alcohol and was happy with the outcome. The crab cakes were alright. This appetizer typically is hard to please wherever you go. Often times it tastes like there is a lot of filler. Sweet potato fries were satisfying. Can't go wrong with them. I had the chicken linguine as my main entree for lunch. It could use adding more pasta. Can't cost that much more to add this to the dish. Would make for a happier customer. The dish otherwise was tasty. I am very pleased by the visual appearance of all the food and drink. You can't say that about all restaurants.

Been wanted to come and try this place. Arrived for dinner. It was easy to be seated and greeted at the entrance. Menu was straightforward. The food arrived on time. The service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is casual with good seating. Would try again and recommend giving this place a try.

I chose to dine in this restaurant for my birthday dinner and was unfortunately met at a crossroads. My group and I were quickly seated, and the server who waited our table was very attentive and pleasant. The environment was also calm, quiet, but also scattered with patrons who I sensed were regulars. While I found the menu to be quite appealing, and I also took my waiter's recommendation to have the Philly Cheesesteak over a burger, who said it was amongst the most popular items at the whole restaurant, it was anything but fulfilling. The amount of food for the serving was more than fair, but it tragically had no flavor whatsoever. It was so bland that I opted to take the remainder home because I simply couldn't enjoy it. Likewise, unfortunately, my wife's sandwich which was a French Dip. Both of us agreed that our meals were not necessarily horrible, they were just sadly incredibly underwhelming in regard to flavor. Fortunately, not all of our items were met with this disappointment, as my uncle ordered the Crogan's Hamburger which he rated 8/10. I asked him multiple times if he was certain that his burger and fries met his satisfaction, and he couldn't have been more reassuring that was exactly the case. As a result, I rate the Crogan's a 3/5. Honestly, everything was great except for the food and given I chose this for a birthday dinner, that only added to the disappointment. My take shouldn't deter others from coming to the restaurant aside from mixed takes on their cuisine. The place has great staff, a comfy and welcoming environment, as well as decent wait times on getting customers their orders.

Francisco helped me out today. He went above and beyond with his 5-star gold service. I called in after hours asking for help and he stayed to offer me support with the kindest voice and warm energy. I've had the fish and chips which are amazing (I have high standards for this dish). French onion soup is on pointe and the clam chowder is pure comfort food. The mandarin chicken salad is refreshing too. Will come back for the yummy food and impeccable service!

A neighborhood spot ... comfy!
Lee R.

Back again and again. It's the neighborhood gem. Their burger is fantastic. I brought a few friends here recently that have never been here before, and they really loved it. They keep asking to come back. That's a good sign!

Had a great time here! Service was good, we ate some cozy food, and were super satisfied after :)

Black bean nachos and steak
Brandy T.

Crogans is a solid go to. I've eaten there in person twice and quite a few times via Uber Eats. When in person the service was decent. I've eaten the following: Braised Short Rib: Tasty and tender but could have used more seasoning Potato Skins: Delicious Black bean nachos: Yummy - lots of high quality cheese and I add steak. Steak and salad: Super fresh and a good portion of steak. I would request the meat be done a bit more. I want to say it was medium rare. But I will order again When you order with uber they give you a free cookie. The price point is a bit high but all the ingredients are high quality I like that the items come in containers that can be composted.

Wood Tavern has been my favorite restaurant in Oakland since I first visited nearly twenty years…read moreago. In all that time, it has remained remarkably consistent. I've been here for date nights, holiday dinners, business dinners, and countless meals with friends visiting from out of town. It's one of those rare restaurants that seems to work for just about any occasion. The service is always great, the College Avenue location is hard to beat, and I've always had good luck finding street parking nearby. The ribeye is my personal favorite and what I order more often than not. If you're coming with a group, the cheese and charcuterie plates are a great way to start. The menu is varied enough that there's always something for everyone, and I've never had a bad meal here. I was genuinely sad to hear that they'll be closing at the end of the year. Restaurants with this kind of quality, consistency, and character are increasingly rare. If you've never been, make a point of going while you still can. I'll certainly miss it once they're gone.

So what better place to dine in to celebrate out 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary at The Hideout Kitchen :) We went for dinner. Our server was KEVIN. Simply...HE IS JUST AWESOME. He knows the menu, he knows the history, and has amazing stories to share with everyone. Great guy. A lot of people there that night seemed to be celebrating something. The noise was a bit loud that I felt I had to almost yell to have a conversation with my husband. But the vibe was great. I enjoyed looking around at the decor. We ordered: - TRUFFLE FRIES for appetizers - I loved everything about it. haha. Tastey! - linguine & clams - I ordered this. It was good. However, I felt it was way oily. And after every bite I took, I had to wipe my mouth. And I accidentally spilled oil on my shirt. - PASTA ALLA CARBONE with steak - My husband enjoyed it and started to get full towards clearing out his bowl haha. - SCALLOPED POTATOES - I ordered a side of this. Definitely was not expecting to look the way it did, but I thought the presentation was beautiful. It was good; however, I was not a fan at how crunchy and hard the top first layer was. In a few areas, it was almost burnt. But I thought it was pretty good without the need for a type of sauce on the side. - For drinks, I had to Summer sangria and my husband had the Rumble in the Jungle. We enjoyed it. Definitely hit the spot. No complaints at all about these drinks. - And Kevin surprised us with a dessert to celebrate : Cranberry Bread Pudding. This was delicious. Very flavorful. I am not really into Cranberry, but this is definitely an exception. Loved the fruits on the side as well. The Hideout Kitchen will always have a place in our hearts. We will definitely come back. We still need to try this place out for Brunch. We need to try their UBE pancakes! hehehe. And thanks Kevin for being amazing that night!

First visit for a weekday lunch with a group. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing given the…read morequality and prices. Perhaps it was just me, but the menu didn't offer anything particularly exciting. We ordered the pork belly panini ($22) and a full wedge salad ($19). The pork belly had a crust that was nearly impossible to bite through, so I had to cut it off with a knife, leaving a thin layer of fat. The flavor was underwhelming as well. The blue cheese wedge salad had an unusual flavor that neither my wife nor I enjoyed, and we left most of it. Honestly, even Outback does a better job with their wedge salad. The Parmesan fries were the one standout. The beer selection was quite limited, although they did have a Dustbowl Taco Truck, which is a nice option. A few more beer choices would have been appreciated. On a positive note, Kary provided good service, and we appreciated her attentiveness. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience, and with so many great restaurants in town, I'm not sure we'd return. I do miss the old Cooperage that used to be here; we always enjoyed it much more.

I got the cherry sour which was very sour and fruity - a little surprising (in a good way), delicious, and refreshing. I ordered the fish and chips but wanted a vegetable so I also got the melon and tomato salad. I'm a sucker for flan so I also had to try that. The fish and chips were perfect and piping hot and crispy. The salad was unfortunately a little disappointing; neither the melons nor tomatoes tasted very ripe so the whole salad was just a bit lacking in flavor. The flan also had a sliiiightly overcooked texture, but was overall pretty good, with a well-executed caramel sauce. Portions are also very generous!

They happily became a vehicle for the apricot preserves at the table which saved the dish -- like having an elaborate toast with jam. The standout was the potato pancake. Surprisingly light and crispy! The ham brought a bacon flavor to the whole dish but without overwhelming it. This is a wonderful spot to grab breakfast before a hike on the Montclair Rail Trail.
